Arab World Framework Change Leader
The world is currently facing a historical moment. For generations, society has followed a siloed, hierarchical approach to problem-solving defined by repetitive efficiency. But this approach is falling short when it comes to the number and complexity of the shared problems we now face. So, the rules of the game, and indeed, the game itself, are changing – change is the new normal, and the most fluid systems and teams are the ones that thrive. One rule is paramount: everyone can and must be empowered to drive positive change. This is the “Everyone A Changemaker” vision that Ashoka is working toward, a vision that is our best hope for building a world where problems no longer outrun solutions.
